IN EASTERN MONTANA.
The Billings Gazette has commenced an
agitation in favor of a branch railroad to
the north, and already sees the probability
OF the Chicago & Northwestern being *.
tended into the Musselshell end Judith
countries. In 1882 the Northern Pacific
surveyed a branch from Billings to Benton,
and at one time had contractors OF the
ground ready to work on it, but
adverse circumstances compelled them to
abandon the work. II the Northern Paci-
fc does not soon push a branch north OF
the Yellowstone. the traffic OF that section
will go to another corporation. A branch
from Billings TO Benton would soon develop
into the most important feeder OF the
Northern Pacific, as branches iron it would
tap the mining regions of Castle Mountain,
Maiden, Barker ard other promising dis
tricts between the Yellowstone and the
Missouri. The ores from those districts,
as well as from Cooke City and Saltwater
on the south, would all be carried to Bill
lings and smelted there by the aid Of the
Rocky Fork coal. The country he ween
the Yellowstone and the Missouri furnishes
the great bulk of the live stock and wool
shipments. and will soon he penetrated by
the Manitoba, or Chicago & Northwestern,
if the Northern Pacific does not max. haste
to grldiron it.

The Yankee Walk.

AS was strolling by the Gordon monu-
ment one morning l passed a group of
three ladies, and heard one of them say:
Il can always tell Yankee by her walk.
l suppose this popularity of gait comes
from walking so much on snow"
Naturally became very conscious of
my movements, and wondered if | had
the manner of one who momentarily ex-
poets the feet to slip up into the air.
There was certain commiseration of
tone in the remark l had overheard, as
of pity for people who must, perforce,
spend the greater part of their lives
either wallowing in snow or trying to
keep their equilibrium on top of snow.
But, in fact, believe we must own that
the true southern woman, she who has
never been north, and never put her foot
on snow, has way of carrying herself
that is far pleasanter to look upon than
the movements of an energetic Yankee.

How often is it necessary to battle?
This depends both on the individual and
the nature of the bath. Some people,
who perspire freely, find it necessary to
battle daily, others require a bath only
three or four times week. Taken in
discriminatory the Turkish and Russian
baths are unsafe, and may in certain con-
ditions he positively dangerous. In
cases of heart disease, tendency to
apoplexy or congestion of the brain Rus
sian or Turkish baths are exceedingly I'M
safe, and as IA general rule it may be
stated that this class of bath should never
be INDUCED in without the advice of a
physician. The tub bath suits most of
us, but the temperature in every case
should be high enough to prevent chills,
and this remark applies also to sponge
baths, which are the safest, and may.
with advantage, he taken every day.

Mary and Her Lamb.

Most of our young readers will be sur
prised to hear that the well known nur-
sery song of MARY Had a Little Lamb"
is true story, and that MARY" is still
living. About seventy years ago she was
little girl, the daughter of a farmer in
Worcester county, Massachusetts,. She
was very fond of going with her father
to the fields to see the sheep, and one
day they found baby lamb which was
thought to be dead. Kind hearted little
Mary, however, lifted it up into her
arms, and as it seemed to breathe she
carried it home, made it warm bed
near the stove and nursed it tenderly.
Great was her delight when, after weeks
of careful feeding and watching her
little patient began to grow well and
strong, and soon after it was able to run
about. 1t knew its young mistress per-
fectly, always came at her call and was
happy only when at her side. One day
it followed her to the village school, and.
not knowing what else to do with it, she
put it under her desk and covered it with
her shawl. There it staid until Mary
was called up to the teachers desk to
say her lesson, and then the lamb walked
quietly after her, and the other children
burst out laughing. SO the teacher had
to shut the little girls pet in the wood
shed until school was out.
Soon after this young student, named
John Rollstone wrote little poem about
Mary and her lamb and presented it to
her. The lamb grew to be sheep and
lived for many years, and when at last
it died. Mary grieved so much for it that
her mother took some of its wool. which
was las white as snow" and knitted a
pair of stockings for her to wear in re-
membrance of her darling. Some years
after the lambs death, Mrs. Sarah Hall.
a celebrated woman who wrote books.
composed some verses about Marv's lamb
and added them to those written by John
Rollstone, making the complete poem as
we know it. Mary took such good care
of the stockings made of her lambs
fleece that when she was grown up
woman she gave one of them to a church
fair in Boston. AS soon as it became
known that the stocking was made from
the fleece of "NIary's little lamb. every
one wanted a piece of it; so the stock
ing was raveled and the yarn cut into
short pieces. Each piece was tied to
card on which "Mary" wrote her full
name. and those cards sold so well that
they brought the large sum of $40 in
the Old South church. Agri-

CONCERNING THE DEAD.
Superstitions of Striking Significance.
Funeral Professions in Ireland.


Superstitions concerning the dead are
very numerous in all parts of Ireland,
and several are of striking significance.
The hand of the dead has great power
when procured according to certain pre-
scribed formula. For instance the most
powerful mystic charm known in Irish
magic is the hand of an unbaptized in
FAINT, taken from the grave in the name
of the evil one, while the next in virtue
Is the hand of a murderer. When can
die is placed in the dead hand, no wind
or rain can extinguish it. and if it be car
ried into a house at night, all the occu-
pants will sleep the sleep of the dead as
long as it is burning. Few diseases can
withstand the potency of the dead hand
as a remedy its virtue being shared even
10y garments and articles which have
touched the corpse or have been used in
the funeral ceremonies. a piece of the
sheet in which a corpse has been wrapped
is good for the headache. and candle ends
used at a wake will cure burns.
The dead greatly desire to rest near the
places where they lived, an instance
being cited of a farmers daughter who
went to Cork and there died of fever.
1t was judged best to bury her there, but
the night after her father returned home
he heard the voice of his child crying, Il
am alone. Waking, he prayed she might
rest in peace till morning, when he at
once set out and brought the body from
Cork to Mayo, where he buried it with
the girls own people. If you hear steps
at night following you, it is very danger
Gus to turn around, for the steps are those
of the dead, and their glance is fatal
Every twelfth night the dead walk, and
on every tile of the house sits soul wait
ing for prayer to free it from purgatory
The dead consort with fairies. and moth
ers have sometimes heard the voices of
their children singing the old Irish songs
Tar down beneath the raths or funeral
mounds where the fairies dwell.
On the west coast, when a funeral pro-
cession is halfway to the churchyard. a
halt is made and a mound of stones
erected to deceive the evil one, who halts
there and searches the mound for the
dead while the procession hurriedly goes
on to the graveyard. The dead are often
sent to earth with messages, generally
announcing another death, and are al
ways glad to be so employed, for their
own relief from purgatory has come.
The last buried in churchyard is COM
PEELED to do mental service in the spirit
world until another comes to take his
place; hence, when two funerals meet,
every spadeful of earth is turned at the
same moment and the two bodies are in
tered at the same time. Every one who
meets funeral must turn back and walk
at least four steps with it to secure his
own good luck and prevent resentment
from the dead.-St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.

The Cyclone In mechanical.

Erastus Wiman. of New York, has
purchased from Raymond Brothers, the
inventors, all the Improvements upon the
pulverizer, some time ago investigated at
Montreal, and which, it is said, illustrates
an entirely new principle in mechanics,
growing out of the application of the
natural principle developed IN cyclone.
The results show that iron Stag can be re-
duced to impalpable powder, and that
other refractory substances can be treated
with equal facility. Tests are at once to
be made with machines ready for the
purpose in various parts of the country
on ores, fertilizers and various other arti-
cles of commerce, which, if successful, it
is said, will revolutionize the present
mode of grinding and pulverizing. A
test made with a half barrel of nails
showed the iron ground into the finest
powder without the aid of tooth, stamp
or roller, and with nothing but air.
